Hey all I am having trouble with my linux box.

On this machine there is a dual boot between win98/linux. Default boot is
linux , what happened today in the morning is, this other guy in the office
started the machine, it booted to linux he didnt understand what happened so
he rebooted it manually...or just switched the power off....

So now when linux tries to bootup and mount the filesystem in read/write
mode it says "file system errors on hdb1(thats my linux native) check
forced. Well somehow it aint able to clear the problem, it asks me for the
'root password for maintainence' or 'ctrl-d' for normal startup. If i give
in the root password it logs me in, in read mode only....and if I press
ctrl-d it doesnt do anything, but gives another series of errors and
reboots...so now im kinda stuck !

Is there a way to fix this problem ? maybe by logging in my root and fixing
something ?

I can use all the help I get

Thanks in advance.
